Panerai Submersible Elux LAB-ID PAM01800 Concept Watch



Officine Panerai presents the new LAB-ID concept watch, the Submersible Elux LAB-ID PAM01800.

LAB-ID (“Laboratorio di Idee”, Italian for “Laboratory of Creativity”) embodies Panerai’s technical expertise and represents the brand’s commitment to constantly seeking innovative solutions to improve the standards and performance of its creations, starting with the LAB-ID Luminor 1950 Carbotech PAM700, first launched in 2017.

Limited to 150 pieces, 50 pieces per year for three years, the Submersible Elux LAB-ID is a fully mechanical watch with 6 barrels and 4 patented systems that convert the mechanical energy stored in the barrels into light energy, illuminating the dial, hands and bezel.

Elux, short for "elettroluminescenza" (electroluminescence), is a technology patented by Panerai on June 15, 1966. Initially, Elux was used in electroluminescent panels designed to enhance the luminescence of instruments on Italian Navy ships.

Its Power Light function can be activated on demand for a total of 30 minutes by opening the patented push-button protection system and pressing the pusher at 8 o'clock.

This illuminates the 12 hour markers on the dial, the patented hands and the dots on the unidirectional rotating bezel. The linear power reserve indicator at 6 o'clock shows the remaining energy of the light.

This compact 8 x 2.3 mm micro-generator uses custom coils, magnets and stators to optimize energy efficiency. It uses a high-speed rotor that rotates 80 times per second and generates a high-frequency electrical signal of 240 Hz.

Illuminating moving elements such as the hands (patented) and bezel markings (patent pending) is particularly challenging, requiring the current to be conducted to the bezel outside the case while maintaining excellent water resistance.

The hour markers and hour hands are in green Super-LumiNova X2, now in a new grade that is 10% brighter than Super-LumiNova X1 after 180 minutes in darkness. The blue minute hand and the dot on the bezel are in Super-LumiNova X1.

The watch has a 49 mm diameter case made of Ti-Ceramitech, a ceramicized titanium material developed by Panerai using a plasma electrolytic titanium oxide ceramicization process. This process transforms the surface of the titanium alloy into a dense ceramic layer. It is 44% lighter than steel and has a fracture toughness 10 times higher than ceramic.

Water resistance is guaranteed to withstand pressures up to 50 bar (~500 m/1,650 ft).

The self-winding P.9010/EL calibre consists of 363 parts, runs at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and is equipped with six barrels: four barrels are dedicated to providing the energy required for the 30-minute on-demand Power Light function and two barrels are dedicated to maintaining a three-day chronograph power reserve.
